Interview with Professor Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University): "Marianne Hirsch’s groundbreaking work on the transmission of memories of violence across generations has deeply inspired many scholars working at the intersections of feminist theory, memory studies and genocide/Holocaust/war studies, including our- selves. Postmemory, a concept that she first introduced in the 1990s and continues to explore in novel ways, has added a whole new dimension to the debates on genocide, gender, and memory. On 30 September 2014, we were fortunate to come together in Budapest in the context of the COST Network Meeting ‘In Search of Transcultural Memory in Europe’ and have this stimulating conversation."
